Day 16 – No Doubt

Tried something new. Well, sort of new. I have tried before. Painting with a palette knife. Turned out so bad, I kept adding splatter to cover up the yuck. It was still awful, so I added some texture to the table. Trying to bring the yuck together cohesively.

I am cringing. But yes, I am actually going to post this palette knife failure. When I scanned it, I made a last-ditch effort to save it. I added a digital center to the top bloom. I don’t think it made a bit of difference. You can see the original below.

Can you believe it? We are nearly at the half point. Woo Whoo! Trying to psych myself up, because week three is always the hardest for me. I start to feel like the little engine that could.

I think I can,
I think I can.

So glad the comments are back. And I have YOU cheering in my corner.

Means the world to me!

A couple of weeks before the challenge began, I made a list of title ideas. I always have a hard time thinking of a title. Late at night, under the gun so to speak. I have yet to use any of them.

While painting the stems, a song came to mind. Stand Tall. I remember this song being a favorite. “Inspirational”. I was only nine, so I seriously doubt I was recovering from a heart-break. Funny that his 1970’s suit compliments today’s painting. Not quite sure how to feel about that.
